While using my Akai Force to sequence a TR8s Drum machine recently I found a couple of limitations.
I'm sending the midi from a drum track to a midi track which is sent to the device. If I mute the drum track it would be great if the midi was muted too.
It would be nice to have navigation quicklinks that I can program similar to macro's. I currently have 8 Audio Tracks, 1 cv, 1 sidechain trigger, 2 drum drum tracks & 8 midi tracks in my project. At present it is only possible to quickly navigate to the first channel, but there is no easy way to navigate from my audio to midi, or directly to my drum tracks.
It would be awesome if I could map
shift + launch N to navigate to a specific place in the software eg.
Shift + Launch 1 - Open the clip launch mode, navigate to x0 y0
Shift + Launch 2 - Open the clip launch mode, navigate to x? y+8
Shift + Launch 3 - Open the clip launch mode, navigate to x10 y?
Shift + Launch 4 - Open my Drum Track
Shift + Launch 5 - Open mixer view, set to effects tab, navigate to submix
(? meaning current location, +/- to add or subtract from the current position)
I can't think of a place I wouldn't want to be able to quickly navigate to, and would want to perform multiple commands so I can choose not only the location & co-ordinates, but the state of the hardware, screen and sub navigation.
If it were only possible to use pad macros, that would be fine and much easier to navigate that what we currently have.
Thanks for your consideration.
